When Breath Becomes Air

Absolutely adored this book. A chilling read, and an impressive one.
Impressed by how well Kalanithi was able to give voice to his time and feelings whilst he was sick. However, I do have to same that there is some classic ‘snobbery' in the book. To mention a few things; as if neurosurgeons deserve a certain type of praise for the work they do (not saying that they don't deserve praise), that there is no reason to believe in God (is argument is one that can be flipped; very weak), and the use of the term identity without a definition of identity gets my philosophical nerves running. Also the statement he made that all we know is scientific knowledge is very contradictory to literally the entire book and all he has written about. And, less related, something I fundamentally disagree with.
The writing is flawless though, I will say that. It runs like water, absolutely beautiful. You can tell that this man knows how to write and has the English language in the palms of his hands.
